This is kinda cool. When did Google start this?
Lessons learned from a Twitter contest
- Turn off email notifications on the main twitter account OR setup a filter
- Be more diligent about pruning followers/following
- There are some real CRAZIES out there! Don't take it personally
What to do with @mcuban’s follower comparison site (really nice little tool for ppl new to Twitter)
I just grabbed this site from my Twitter stream and its EXACTLY what I need – http://bit.ly/msiIf – its a little script that compares followers of multiple accounts. Why does a business need this? Well, when you're getting started probably the best way to figure out who to follow would be the people who follow accounts that you think are interesting. For example, I can take a few of my competitors' twitter accounts, plug them in, and then see which ones of their followers are techies out there following multiple vendors and start to follow them.
Very simple, very cool. Give it whirl!Getting used to PicPosterous on the iPhone

Interesting little trip up on WP move
Moved a WordPress blog and this stupid s*** tripped me up for a couple hours. Hate that!!!
Other Potential Problems
There are still some problems that you can run into after this point. The first, and most common relates to your upload directory. Often, after moving to a new url (or moving to a new host), you’ll start getting a permissions error when you try to use the image uploader. This happens because of a field in the options table called “upload_path”. The upload path specifies where to store your uploads (obviously), but when wordpress is installed, this is automatically generated relative to your filesystem (not web) root. The easiest way to fix it is to go to the Miscellaneous settings page (Under the settings menu on your dashboard), and change the value there to ‘wp-content/uploads’.
Social Media – for corporations its WAY more than marketing
Life makes twists and turns constantly. I do my best to keep up bit its hard. I’m digging the hell out of Posterous because I can do blogs during the “space between”, as Dave Matthews sometimes talks about.
